45 Australian gardeners share their stories of passion and persistence in creating their own special places. Previously published as the coffee table book, 'The Open Garden'.;;;
This book is about books that recount the story of encountering another book. There are various versions of the story told and retold from the heyday of imperialism up to the present day (Homi Bhabha calls it the trope of 'the discovery of the English book'); by considering each of these versions carefully, we may also give an alternative account of twentieth-century 'English literature' as the site of an intercultural discourse. This project is very much inspired by debate on postcolonial theory, namely, the debate between Said and Bhabha. Part I is devoted to the discussion of Conrad, especially of Heart of Darkness, and investigates how the novella has continually been reproduced to the extent that it represents 'the English Book' of colonial/postcolonial literatures. The chapter on Hugh Clifford (Ch.3) is virtually the first intensive critique of his novels, such as Saleh (1908), with a particular focus on their intertextual relations with Conrad's texts. Part II examines how the story of the English Book is repeated and revised in the texts of the following authors: Joyce Cary, Isak Dinesen, V. S. Naipaul, Kaiko Takeshi, and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o.
Life's Greatest Lessons from our Beloved, Furry Best Friends With a camera and a bucket of treats, Shaina Fishman set herself up in a photo studio and watched puppies and their parents at play. The result is a wealth of delightful, irresistibly cute images: dogs laughing, playing, sneezing, yawning, and finally cuddling and going to bed. The quotes on each page are sometimes fun, sometime wise, and definitely relatable to any parent or dog lover. These adorable photos and timeless tips will be adored by all. The vivid photographs show a side of puppies that we’re usually not privy too—what they do when there's no humans around. The images include all sorts of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, French bulldogs, dalmatians, and more! The dogs are big and small, young and old—some traditionally cute and a handful with faces that “only a mother could love” (and, as you’ll see, she does!). These photos are sure to induce a smile. This is the perfect pick-me-up book: a treat for oneself as well as a gift destined to be cherished and returned to again and again for a good laugh.
(Revised and re-published) Daniel Ford has spent half his life uncovering an agenda by what he calls a global cult to enslave humanity on every level. In Daniel Ford’s first book, Paper View: In Print, a nightmare agenda of total human control and manipulation affecting every area of human life was laid-out and detailed. Ford takes the story further and deeper in Reality Check and reveals the ultimate controllers of our world and why their agenda exists at all. Reality Check is best read alongside Paper View: in Print to allow the full complex picture of humanity’s plight to be seen in its entirety. Many of the changes in society since 2020 were predicted in Paper View: In Print because ...
